Abstract
An experimental model was designed to test the premise that meshed skin grafts survive better than sheet grafts on contaminated wounds. In this rat model, meshing of grafts significantly improved graft take, and expansion of the mesh led to an even greater improvement. The results of this study indicate a need for further investigation of this technique in the management of contaminated wounds.
